Life and politics from the Sunshine State's best city

Hillary Clinton to make two stops in South Florida Friday

Hillary Clinton will make campaign appearances Friday in St. Lucie and Broward Counties, the Clinton campaign announced Sunday.

Specific details on where and when the events will be held have not yet been announced.

While the Democratic nominee campaign in South Florida Friday, her other half, former President Bill Clinton, will be all over North Florida, making appearances.

Both Clintons will be in the Sunshine State through the end of the work week. The campaign announced earlier that Bill Clinton would visit Panama City, Tallahassee, and Jacksonville Friday, with “additional stops along the way.”

Hillary Clinton was in Orlando just last Wednesday; Donald Trump will be in Melbourne Tuesday.

All this shows that with just over six weeks to go, the national political election is being fought in Florida, with its 29 electoral votes.
